Overview
About Me
Do what you want to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
I make music that doesn't exist yet and won't exist again. I make website that persist forever. Somewhere in between the improvisation and the permanence is where I live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In the past it has been a delight to host travelers. Right now I need to do a little more travelling myself. And in the future, I plan to be doing both :)
Interests
If you can describe in detail the back end of how something works, I will be interested in it.
My personal flavors are in indeterminacy and system structures. "God doesn't play dice" - - we'll see about that.
Jazz and art have been very, very influential to who I am. While they are no longer a major part of my life, they are still expressed through my language and sentiment.
Mathematics and programming have been budding their way in, and I am so happy to be building such technical skills. The rigor of mathematics, the precision of programming, and the whim of mathematics are captivating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I found out Memorial day weekend was in two days, I decided to go for a bike tour of Long Island. After 10 hours on the road, dawn to dusk, I set up a simple camp in Bohemia park. It was a lovely day, and a lovely weekend.
Teach, Learn, Share
I taught violin lessons for six years. I can teach you, too.
+ music theory
+ music history
I haven't taught programming yet, but I really really want to. If you want to learn how to make digital things, let's talk!
Conversation is the key that will unlock anything you want to know.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A balanced and engaging conversation, an interesting night out, musical performance or presentation.
